Helena Herald: After persistent eff
forts by Herald reporter to learn the
full extent of Ex-Governor Hauser's
plans for railroad building this season
in Montana, the enterprising capitalist
was induced to throw additional light
upon the new projects vaguely limited
at by him when interviewed by the
Herald on his return from the east.
These projects have materialized IN the
formation of two new railroad compa-
MES, who have filed their articles of in
corporation One is the Helena, Boulder
& Madison railway company. AS indi-
Gated, this road will run from the capt.
tai to Boulder, thence down the Boulder
river, through the rich and fertile val
ley of the same name, to the junction
with the Jefferson river. Thence it
proceeds across the interior to the Mad
ison river, striking that stream near the
promising mining camp of Red Bluff.
From Red Bluff the road will continue
up the Madison river and into the Ma
tional Park, opening up a new mode OF
access to the great Wonderland. The
distance from Boulder to Red Bluff is
fifty-four miles, The exact route Of the
road has not been determined, the fore
going being merely an outline descrip-
ton. Surveyors, however, are now in
the field and as soon as the line is locat
ed construction will be commenced.
The road will be completed to Red Bluff
this season and extended into the Ma
tional Park next year. A spur will
doubtless be put out to Virginia City
from this line. Besides Mr.. Hauser and
other Helena capitalists Messrs. Filing,
Blake and Hickman are interested in
the new roads. The great object Of the
construction of this line is to tap the
rich ore regions of Madison county and
create better facilities for bringing its
mineral product into market. The other
road is to be called the Helena, Gallatin
& National Park. 1t will leave the
Northern Pacific at the crossing of the
Gallatin river and run south towards
the Park, joining the Helena, Boulder
& Madison near Red Bluff. 1t will
open up vast section of country, rich
in agricultural and mineral resources.

Destructive Cyclone.

\ destructive cyclone visited St.
Clairsville, Ohio, last Friday. \ funnel
shaped cloud, resembling in appearance
dense black smoke, swooped down and
demolished houses, snapped off trees
like pipe-stems, Frustrated and carried
bodily horses and cattle hundreds of
yards Many fine brick residences were
completely demolished and the furni-
ture and partitions of the rooms, and
even the walls. were scattered along the
track of the cyclone for miles. A large
mansion on the corner of Marietta and
Main streets was cut off clean at the
second floor and the walls and roof scat
tered in fragments. The first National
bank block and c. Thrall & Sons dry
goods store were almost swept from
their sites, only portion of the lower
walls being left standing. The dwell
lings and business blocks of I. II. Pat
terson, druggist, George Jepson, grocer,
and Jas. Patterson, dry goods, had the
upper walls and roof swept off and the
lower part of the houses badly damag
ed by falling bricks and timbers. The
National hotel, Mrs. Evans large brick
residence and probably forty other
houses were less seriously damaged.
No casualties to persons are reported,
the funnel-shaped cloud having been
seen approaching in time for families
to take refuge in cellars. Benjamin
Barkhurst's fine old brick mansion
south of town was totally demolished;
likewise the United Presbyterian
church, large brick edifice. The loss
in st. Clairsville will reach 100000. A
scantling sailed through the air for
mile and cut as clean a hole in two
walls of brick house as cannon ball
would. Shingles were driven through
weather boarding like arrows. A large
tract of timber west of town was
blown dowrYflat and not tree left un-
injured. Martins Ferry suffered even
more than St. Clairsville, and every
thing in the wake of the storm cloud
was blown to atoms. When the storm
struck the river the water shot up in a
perpendicular wall about twenty feet
and then fell back in a frothy, seething
foam and simultaneously a shower OF
fence boards, shingles, post and timbefs,
fell in sheet on the turbulent water.
The river for miles was streWn with
wreckage. 1t is estimated that the ag-
gregate loss will exceed million dol
lars.

The town lookup IN Missoula was
found wrapped in flames one morning last
week. A tramp incarcerated for vagran-
cy the night before it is thought fired the
building in hope of escape, but before
help arrived the fire had gained such
headway that the structure burned to the
ground, cremating the prisoner whose re-
being nothing left but the lower part of
the trunk.
During drunken row at Gold creek,
ten miles west of Garrison, Wednesday
night, between Albert Osborne and one
Donhardt, in which William Egan, section
foreman of the Northern Pacific railroad
interfered as peacemaker, the latter was
stabbed by Osborne. A pocket knife was
used, but the blade was plunged into
Egan's breast Just above his heart making
deep, ugly cash which it is feared will
prove fatal. Osborne was arrested.
Some Butte parties salted the Cleopatra
mine, located in Pipestone Pass, and un
dertook to sell the same to j. M. Venera-
bic, the agent OF some capitalists. The
mine prospected rich in gold and Mr..
Venerable was about to buy it, but sus-
pecting all was not right he went to the
mine in the dead hour of night and began
development work. He penetrated the
ledge two or three feet and obtained few
samples which would not assay even a
trace of gold.
At a meeting at Sun River of stockmen
representing most of the cattle ranging
on great northern Montana pastures, com
mittees were appointed to act for the diff
ferent associations in the sale of the hide
crop. 1t was estimated that not less than
100000 cattle Craze UPON the ranges rep
resented by the stockmen assembled, and
that the hide crop will number between
nine and ten thousand hides. The loss
was placed at not less than 20 nor more
than 25 per cent.
Helena Herald: Fort Ceur d'Alene
has recently been designated and will here
after be known as Fort Sherman, in honor
of General William Tccumseh Sherman,
L. S. A., retired, by whom the site was
originally selected and at whose instance
the post was established 1t is situated
on the north shore of Cnur d'Alene Lake,
in the Panhandle Of Idaho Territory. the
location being one of the most plctur-
esque in the mountain region of the north
west. Gen. Sherman is expected to visit

PrOmising PROSPECTS.


Ex-Governor Hauser was interviewed in
Helena few days ago by correspondent
of the New York World. Speaking Of
the varied interests of the territory, Mr..
Hauser was very enthusiastic. He said ::
1.-THE output of the mines of Montana this
year will be thirty millions of dollars, 90
per cent of which will be left in the ter
ritory. New mines are constantly being
developed and thousands of dollars are
being put in this immense industry. He
further states that from eight to ten mil
lion dollars will be spent in railroad build
ing. all of which will be left in the terri
tory. This is not only the Northern Pa
cific but the Manitoba and Union Pacific
roads, In reply to question regarding
cattle. he stated that the loss of cattle was
not to exceed twenty or twenty-five per
cent and that the sales of cattle this year
would amount to ten millions Of dollars.
He stated to the correspondent that Mon
tana, for its population, Is the richest COM
munity on Gods footstool. He stated
further that Montana was more talked
of in the east than any other community
of the same number of inhabitants and
the immigration to the territory this year
would be greatly In excess of any previ-
GUS year."

A Historical Spot.

Helena independent: The scene Of
Sunday nights fire bring to memory
"reminiscences Of the past, it being the
place where stood in early days the
famous hangman's tree, at that time
stern and forcible reminder to evil dOerS
of this section. In appearance, tall
and blackened pine, bearing but one
gnarled and ragged limb. upon which
even foliage refused to grow, it stood
out prominently upon the side-hill, the
only evidence of wooded vegetation in
the vicinity. Standing out in bold re-
lief against the sky, with occasionally
one or two Silhouette forms dangling
from it, and with Luna's pale beams
streaming upon them, the picture was
more suggestive than pleasing. For
time the tree would be void of it's hui
man fruit, then again when lawlessness
and depredations became numerous in
the then sparsely settled camp, a search
for the offenders on the following
morning would reveal them swinging
from natures own galloWs, the bodies
placarded with the ever popular Ameri-
can verdict, Found dead: no one to
blame
During the march Of time and pro-
gress of civilization, a minister-Rev.
Mr. Shipper, now resident OF Butte,
purchased the premises and erected
thereon dwelling, part OF the lum-
Der for which is stated to have come
from the tree in question. At all events
the grim sentinel Of the forest was cut
down, leaving naught but the stump
remaining. For while the stump be-
came a more conspicuous feature than
the tree itself, and in order to obliterate
it and prevent the curiously inclined
visiting the spot, Shipper had carted
thither several cords of firewood, and
surrounding the unsightly protuber-
ance. set fire to the entire mass, allow
ing it, with replenishment OF fuel, to
burn for several weeks, with the hopes
of completely effacing it. When the
embers were cleared away no trace
remained. of the famous stump, and the
owner of the property once more dWeIt
in peace. However much the precau-
ton taken to remove it, signs are still
evident of the historical gibbet, and In
the spring time after winters heavy
SHOWS have disappeared, there comes to
the surface in an encircled form define
ating the circumference of the stump
yet hidden underground, cluster OF
leaves or foliage that have been aptly
| termed "deadman'S ferns"

A premature blast killed six men and
wounded seven at the camp of Kyner,
Highbee & Bernards, near Buena Vista,
Cal. While working in sixty foot cut
on midland grade twenty-foot hole had
been put down to blow off the face of the
cut and sprung with twenty kegs of giant
powder. The foreman was loading the
charge, and he had filled in ten kegs
when it discharged, throwing masses of
rock into the cut where thirteen men
were working, instantly killing six and
wounding seven.
The express companies having raised
the question as to whether they were sub
Ject to the operations of the interstate
commerce law the commission made a
ruling that it would hold In the affirma-
tive, but would give hearing to any
company wishing to contest the point.
The Canadian express company, in res
ponse to whose inquiry this ruling was
made, has notified the commission that it
is carrying out the provisions of the inter-
state commerce law and forwards copy
of its general tariff from Offices in the
United States.
Pedro Garcia, editor of the Observator
Fronterizo, languishes in Cuttings old
cell in Paso Del Norte Jail, for calling
Mayor Provencio, of Paso Del Norte, a
drunkard, and Proberto, the tax collector
of the state of chihuahua, arobber. Garcia
published his paper in Ell Paso and was
arrested in the act of circulating it in
Paso Del Norte on the Mexican side of the
river. Identical with the Cutting case,
the Mexican government exercised the
right Of territorial jurisdiction excepting
that Garcia is native Spaniard and is
held for circulating and not publishing
libel.
An unknown man while walking along
the track at New Rochelle, N. Y, was
struck by freight train. His body was
thrown upon the pilot Of the engine, where
it lay until Larchmore was reached.
There it fell to the road bed and both feet
were cut off. Another train on an oppO-
site track struck the unfortunate man and
once more he was hurled upon the pilot
and lay there until New Rochelle was
again reached, when the body and the
trunk fell under the wheels the second
time. When the train moved it was seen
that only the headless trunk remained
after the terrible buffetlng it had received.
No one was found to tell who the man
was.
